Stone Wall Cleaning by Abrasive Blasting
Restoration
- Surface and material
- Rubble stone wall
- Existing condition
- Weathered and soiled stone with heavy surface build-up.
- The problem
- The client wanted the stone cleaned back without cutting into the weathered face, so the process had to be proven before full-scale work.
- Method used
- Controlled abrasive cleaning, trialled on part of the wall before the remainder was treated.
- Work completed
- Section of the wall cleaned and compared directly against the untreated stone alongside it, with the finish agreed before continuing.
- Result
- Cleaned stone shown side by side with the original condition, giving the client a clear basis for approval.
